This is the first track of a series of collabs we intend to make with female vocalists/musicians, "Comme ça" is the fruit of working with the great Sandra Arslanian from Sandmoon in Beirut. @Sandmoon

You Know The Days (feat. Tamara Qaddoumi)

Lebanese outfit sandmoon offers an original take on indie folk-pop, infusing it with subtle Middle-Eastern intonations and melancholy, and a certain timelessness. Singer-songwriter Sandra Arslanian, who initiated the project, was born in Lebanon, raised in Belgium and has Armenian roots – a contrasted blend that is perceptible in the music. 

They released a first album “Home” in 2014, an EP “#IntheEnd” in 2016 and in 2018, a 3-song EP “Beirut-Berlin Session” produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey…). 

In 2016, sandmoon also wrote the original soundtrack to Lebanese director, Philippe Aractingi’s feature film ‘Listen’, which received the Award for Best Soundtrack at the Lebanese Movie Awards 2017.  

Sandmoon will be releasing their second album, “Put a Gun/Commotion” produced by Fadi Tabbal in Spring 2020. Stay tuned.

“One of the more alluring outfits to emerge in the region over the past decade” according to Cairo Scene. 

“Characterized by sophisticated orchestration and folk-infused songwriting, Middle-Eastern inspired elements supporting Arslanian's sweetly quavering voice,” wrote IndieShuffle. 

“Each release brings slightly different colors and emotions – but always great melodies,“ wrote Beehype.

"The band has some thought-provoking dualities at its core, not only looking East and West culturally, but also to the past, present and future for musical inspiration" according to Analogue Trash.
